ICHY RASH !
hey everyone ! I've been getting an itchy rash that comes and goes all over my body, one rash left a circleish figure it looked like a mosquito bite.. I've also had kind of a sore throat and abit of abdominal pain. Im not sure what this is but its bothering me a lot.. i also use face cream that has benzoyl peroxide in it but its not just pure benzoyl peroxide.. my friend got bleach into her blood stream because of a doctor recommending just pure benzoyl peroxide.. I'm wondering if its that?! i stopped the cream and took benadryl to see if everything goes away any ideas what it could be??

Hello and hope you are doing well.
The rash could be due to contact dermatitis, that is exposure to an irritant like a chemical or metal or anything you are allergic to, it can cause rash. It could also be due to scabies, impetigo or sometimes due to herpes zoster or chicken pox. If there is accompanying swelling, redness, discharge and fever it is most probably an infection.
But to exactly pinpoint the pathology you will need to discuss this with your primary care physician who will examine you and may ask for blood tests. If the need arises he may refer you to a dermatologist.
